If garcon doesn't prove himself after the bye, I won't know what to think. We can't afford to cut him, but we can't afford him to suck either. Next year Moss, Hall, Grossman (not sure how much we pay him anyway) and possibly Fletcher are gone, if Garcon doesn't get his toe fixed, we'll still probably over pay him. Good thin Shanny knows how to draft because I have a really bad feeling about FA, and he better not draft another RB.
As far as free agency they have that salary cap hit. What do you expect? Their limited on funds.Quote:

With the injury he could be had for less money than he would have gotten before the achillies. The guy is the definition of a man to man corner, something you need in the 3-4 when you leave your corners on an island most of the time. Take a look at some of the guys videos. I think you'll realize this could be a great signing. Let me know what you guys think.
I actually have been pushing for Grimes myself. He will be 30 when the next season starts, and most likely wont command thaaat much money coming off the ACL injury. Wilson, Grimes, Talib for our corners would make me more than happy.
I'd like Wilson and Grimes without a doubt, but I don't see Talib coming here. Shanny doesn't want to add any bad influences in the locker room. I wouldn't mind seeing us draft a corner that could fill in at nickle with our 3rd round pick, or maybe Minnefield can play nickle assuming he comes back to how he was playing in camp. Definitely think our 2nd round pick has to be FS.Quote:

Smith, I agree needs to go. Along with Banks!Quote:

Haslett isn't going anywhere, nor should he. I don't care if Mike Ditka was our D-cord. our D would still suck. Other than Kerrigan, Bowen, Fletcher and "Maybe" Riley we are starting back up "at best" calliber players on D. NOT HIS FAULT
However on the other hand, I do believe Danny Smith should be held responsible for the disaster we call our Special Teams. Special Teams has been one of the worst in the NFL, if not the worst.
I think Fletcher is gone next season. Whether he retires or we cut him. I think that will play a part if we switch to 4-3 or stay 3-4. I see a lot of changes coming to be honest.
I dont feel like putting together a list but it would be a good idea to get an idea of some players we could trade for draft picks. Jenkins hasnt done much but we could probably get a decent pick for him. New England was stupid enough to pick up Haynesworth and they always pick up our trash, maybe we could get a 7th for Hall from them.
Hall may not be the best, but i'd rather have him than a seventh rd. pick. We definitely need to create some competition at CB. That's a been a big problem there. Lack of competition.
IMO, any seventh round CB is better than Hall.
here is my wishlistQuote:

cut jamal brown.
resign kory lichtensteiger
target a S...i would love Byrd..he is a disciplined and very good safety thats on a bad team, if not william moore is also scheduled to be a FA, and philips...just grab the best guy
target andre smith as the RT...i have a feeling he wont cost a lot...
same goes for talib.... the morris connection and he would come at a cheap price.....
3 FA's is very realistic.. Byrd, Smith, and Talib..... that would be major help..
in the draft, go for the best CBs available...we also need a TE
Hall will be out a seventh rd. CB all day, every day. A 2nd rounder and a good FA will actually challenge him for his position.Quote:
